Please tell me what this is! I’ll love you forever

I know I'm far from ready for this trick, but its so beautiful, words don't describe. It makes you look like a superhero. Also, if anyone can what that forward bend-over is too, I'll love you twice as much 🙂
I want to say it looks close to a twisted ballerina, but the legs position is different.

I believe that is the Icarus spin

it's a flying ballerina with a bent knee

icarus is similar, but the pole contacts the neck instead of the inner arm

Thank you!!

It is a variation on the twisted/flying ballerina. Here is another vid of her doing it:

If your interested, here are 2 lessons for this move.https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif
This one is a spin, both static and spinning pole https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/4fc631e5-4354-4c33-8b45-7bf40ac37250
This one is just the static pose. Twisted Ballerina, with variations. Can be done on spinning pole as well. https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/4fa29778-6ce0-4814-9df4-0e9c0ac37250

It's officially known as the Roxy Spin. Veena has a lesson on it and you can do it from the ground , but with the ankle on the inside of the pole.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h9B-OQLIa-o < — roxy variation that Veena teaches at 1:35It's a twisted balllerina variation. It takes a while to get used to the foot being on the outside of the pole (I've been doing twisted ballerina for like…4months and I am only now doing this variation THAT way.)
So in short, I learned this way:
Roxy with the leg on the INSIDE of the pole –> Twisted Ballerina —> TB Variation whose name I am unsure of (Ember's profile pic https://www.studioveena.com/users/view/bc588586-d89d-11df-ab19-12313b090e12)
Only then did I really feel comfortable not having that leg around the pole. But everyone learns differently 😛

The Roxy is not just the pose on the pole but a whole set up and then going into the spin. In this video it is the whole move from about 38-46 seconds and incorporates the elbow back hook into the hold.

Yep! A Roxy includes the whole spin around into elbow, you gotta have the whole kit and caboodle for it to be a Roxy! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif I like it best on a static pole, Roxy use to do it and spin down ending in a split!
-
for some reason i can easily (and with some grace ) get out of ballerinas, yet with roxy, i get stuck.
-
What part of your body is taking most the weight with the twisted ballerina? Based on the video I put up, and chemgoddess put up, I want to say the bent leg is…but I'm probably wrong.
-
It will depend on your level of flexibility. For me its mostly on the leg, but others might find a lot of pressure on the arm that's against the pole. I do press into the pole with the front of the arm pit and then I really press when I go into the flying variation! Wheeeeee I'm fying lolhttps://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

Oh and there is this variation too!! https://www.studioveena.com/photos/view_photo/4f67694e-f410-49d9-845f-2bca0ac37250
